Intro:
I'm just a normal guy that can cook what I can eat. I just picked interest in cooking when I saw fellow guys preparing sumptuous delicacies.

Guys can cook nowadays o. Well I'll rate myself 20% when it comes to cooking because I don't have the required experience. I've eaten more food that I didn't cook than the one I cooked.

I bumped into the image below on Facebook and decided to try an improvised version since I can't get access to the main ingredients. I'll be brief as possible but I've written the full story on my lil blog below

I'm just a JJC in cooking, make Una no laugh me o �
@lalasticlala, help move this to the promised land or I add snake.

So my improvised version consists of the following
Beans
Plantain (very costly now)
Red oil
Pepper
Onion
Crayfish
Scent leaf, called nchuanwu
Oil bean seed called ugba or ukpaka
Salt and 1 cube of maggi

Cooking the beans,added salt,pepper, onion, crayfish

Beans don soft
Added plantain and cooked
Added Palm oil

Plantain and beans now soft
Added ukpaka and scent leaf

Food don ready o
Tried to design a little

Yeah.....otipuri is cooked with par boiled grounded maize....beans and leaf (preferably bitter leaf).

I wonder why u added plantain to your achicha.

Normal achicha there's no added.

That's my improvised version

It's difficult for me to eat only beans without adding something

Boarding school days made me hate eating beans only

Omo this yr beans mad

I don't joke with beans

sammuell:

I don't joke with beans

Hahaha, I would eat beans with something. Aside that, no beans for me.

Lol

I see, I saw
I see the beans, agwa
I take the pot ite
I cook, me siwe ya

I cook the bean agwa ya mewe ihun owuon
Owuon
Owuon
It ite gi o di kwa nko?
Owuon, owuon...

Hahahahaaaa

After all the effort put into making what you saw, ended up like normal porridge beans...


On a more serious note.
I think your mistake was from the kind of beans you used and the ingredients. In the original one, it looks like they used black beans the Edo people call oyile or ukpele.

If it's not any of those beans, then they used kporokporo stem to achieve that color.

I knew I couldn't get the exact ingredients especially the small beans so that's my improvised version
